Dear useRs,


Is there a way to draw helix spring in R of desired diameter and number of
turns?

This is an excellent opportunity for you to tell us why rseeek.org and Google
search results did not address your needs, which may either answer your question
without our help or help us to understand your needs better.

I will also comment that a "spring" is usually more complex than just
a "helix", since the pitch gets smaller near the ends, so adding this
word may be hindering your chance if getting responses rather than helping.

And learn to post using plain text format. The more complex your question gets,
the more important this nitpicky detail becomes.

Yes, use rgl's cylinder3d function.  (Or lines3d if you don't want any 
volume.)
